By the second page of this book, I was very intrigued.  This story did not take long to get started on the excitement.  It would be so hard to be on the run and try to find a life you could live that would include romance and love but this author makes you believe you can overcome anything and hurdle mountains.  It starts out right away with the murder.  I fell in love with Robin and Bobby right from the beginning and hated C.D. just as much.  It seems like you should reach out and introduce yourself to the characters, the author is so adept at describing the people and places.  

There were a few minor typographical errors to overlook but not enough to detour from my eagerness to find out what happens next.  In one part it states Robin hadn’t been there long but then in the next couple paragraphs it sounds like it has been months.  I wasn't sure if I missed something in between or if it was just a mistake.

The author had such talent to describe the details so I actually felt like I was there.  It’s like I was driving down the streets, afraid I was being followed by the villain.  I felt as though I should look around the door or out the window to make sure nobody was there.  This is an edge-of-your-seat story of a woman and her nephew’s difficult survival. 

I did not want to quit reading until I had this story completed. This book was full of mystery, suspense and love.  Whether it be suspense, mystery, romance or all three put together that you’re looking for, this is absolutely the book to read.
